  1. Ignition OFF, disconnect the heated seat module harness connectors C2 and C4.
  2. Test for 850-12.0K ohms of resistance between the signal circuit and the low reference circuit of the seat temperature sensor.
    • If greater than 12.0K ohms, test the signal circuit and low reference circuit for a short to voltage or an open/high resistance. If the circuits/connections test normal, replace the heated seat temperature sensor.
    • If less than 850 ohms, test the signal circuit for a short to ground. If the circuit/connections test normal, replace the heated seat temperature sensor.
  3. If all circuits/connections circuits test normal, replace the heated seat module.
